Free Event | Arctic Resonance: Science, Film, Live Music + Q&A
The following message is being shared on behalf of Aditya Gandhi.
Hi everyone, You’re warmly invited to Arctic Resonance, a free science communication event that brings together Arctic research, film, and live improvised music. Arctic Resonance is a collaboration between the Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources and the Desautels Faculty of Music. The event features original visual material drawn from Arctic fieldwork and scientific research — including field videos from the Arctic, whale drone footage, eelgrass surveys, iceberg and sea ice model animations, and Arctic Ocean current visualizations — presented in a short film/documentary format. During the performance, students from the Desautels Faculty of Music’s eXperimental Improv Ensemble will create a live, improvised musical score in real time, responding to the visuals as they unfold. The goal is to explore new ways of communicating Arctic science in a more accessible, emotional, and engaging way through sound and image. Following the performance, there will be time for a Q&A and open discussion, where audience members are encouraged to ask questions about the research, the fieldwork, and the purpose behind the visual material and filming (e.g., drone footage, ecological surveys, and modeling outputs). 📍 Location: Desautels Concert Hall (150 Dafoe Road) 🕧 Time: January 23, 2026 at 12:30 PM 🎟️ Admission: Free and open to the community A poster with more details is attached. We hope you’ll join us! Best regards, Aditya Gandhi
